Baily Express SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1500 Arnold Flips Sooners Past Battling Aggie Club, 41-14 As Big Red Hits For No.31 Lockett Catches Three ID Passes By SAUL FELDMAN Stillwater, Dec. 2 (P)-Oklahoma's Claude Arnold pitched four touchdown pases to by pass a fighting underdog Oklahoma A football team 41-14 here today in the 45th meeting of the state rivals. Sugar bowl bound Oklahoma -the nation's No. 1 team-was a six touchdown favorite. But the Aggies put up a fighting defense that might have paid off if it hadn't been for Arnold's passing.

The victory Is Oklahoma's 31st straight and makes it the faborite against Kentucky in New STATISTICS Okla. First downs 24 14 Rushing yardage 322 209 Passing yardage 153 96 Passes attempted 24 10 Passes 11 Passes intercepted Punts Punting average Fumbles lost Yards penalized 92 65 New Year's day. Kentucky's Paul (Bear) Bryant scouted the game the personal guest of Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson. And Bryant saw an eye-full of Oklahoma versatility. The Aggies, with only a thin squad of 30 men, matched touchdowns with Oklahoma in the first quarter for a 7-7 tie before 33,000 persons.

It was in the second quarter the Sooners broke loose for 28 points. Arnold, doing a beautiful game at quarterback, evaded the Aggies' eight-man line with a spectacular aerial barrage that proved in the end to make the difference. of Arnold's touchdown passes were caught by End Jack Lockett. End John Reddell scored on the other toss. A oneyard buck by Halfback Billy Vessels and nine-yard spring by Fullback Leon Heath took care of the remainder of the Sooner scoring.

Jim Weatherall made five out of six conversions. The Aggies' first touchdown was scored with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter when Halfback John Grabko eut left tackle 12 yards to end a 70-yard march. Odie Biggs made the conversion, the first of two. The other Aggie score came on touchdown pass from Quarterback Bob Steele to End Ron Shackleton at the conclusion of a 57-yard drive in the third period. In defeat, the Aggies played their best game the year.

They ended the first season under Coach J. B. Whitworth four victories, one tie and six losses. A M's hard play forced Wilkinson to keep his first team in most of the game. There was no doubt Oklahoma was pressed by the Inspired Aggies but the Sooners' superiority in all departments made it evident why Oklahoma is the nation's top team.

Oklahoma's first score came with 10 minutes gone in the game. Arnold hit Reddell in the end zone on a 21-yard toss to end a 35- yard drive. A drive that started at the end of the first quarter paid off with five seconds gone in the second period. A march of 80 yards, including a 53-yard jaunt by Heath, ended pitched 10 yards to Lockett. A fumble by Aggie Fullback Bob Cook gave Oklahoma the ball on the Aggie 46 just two minutes later and it marched again with Vessels scoring from the one.

The other two touchdowns in the quarter- exploding quickly -were pases of 30 yards and 15 yards from Arnold to Lockett. That put Oklahoma out in front 35-7 at the half. Oklahoma was unable to score in the third quarter as the Aggies dominated play. Heath scored Oklahoma's final touchdown from the nine after Oklahoma gained possession of the ball on a fumble on the Aggie 35. Oklahoma set a modern scoring record for the school by not having a pass intercepted today.

The Sooners end the regular season with only four passes intercepted, breaking last year's record of five. Arnold, who 10 of 23 passes for, 143 yards, equaled the touchdown pitching record he made in the Kansas State game where he also threw four scoring heaves. The crafty quarterback was given wonderful protection by the Oklahoma line. Whitworth used his eight-man line to stop much of Oklahoma's rushing, but it left pass receivers Heath, an All candidate, made 126 yards on 16 carries while Vessels clocked 120 on 18 tries. Grabko, a junior who was injured earlier in the season, led Aggie runners with 69 yards in 13 carries.

Fullback Bob Cook picked up 66 yards on 25 tries. The Aggies' defense, which was able to stop Oklahoma three quarters, was sparked by Wayne Johnson, Darrell Meisenheimer and Wagoner. The Aggies had seven captains -the seven graduating seniors. Oklahoma had 13 playing their last regular game. Oklahoma started out the game with its usual fumble near the goal.

2 (P) dent Truman, doubly guarded by wartime security precautions, sat through brief showers today to watch one of football's great upsets as Navy whipped Army 14-2. That astonishing resultmost completely reversing the 19-point pre-game edge figured for Army-kept alive Truman legend that as chief executive he always has sat behind the winning team. Navy was the host this year, and the president occupied a box on the Navy side. Last year he sat behind the team, and before that the president traditionally shifted from one side of the field to the other at halftime. Officially Mr.

Truman was neutral, but he often has said he likes to root for the underdog. "I was on the Navy side this time," the president told reporters. "It was one of the fastest and most interesting games I have ever seen. If it had gone on a little longer Navy would have scored again." The presidential special train left at 4:25 p.m. on the return journey to Washington.

There was only one incident to mar the president's trip. Two young men, one of whom was overheard to remark "if had a gun I could have bumped him off," were picked up by police and questioned for an hour shortly after the 11-car presidential special train arrived in Philadelphia. The men had no weapons. They were released after more than an hour of questioning, and were taken back to the stadium in time to see most of the game. "It was just a foolish remark said U.

E. Baughman, secret service chief. The pair told police they were Adolph Ruszyck and Michael Pantzykouski, and that they had come from their homes at Lackawanna, N. to see the game. Their tickets, an officer said, were for seats "very far" from the president's -heated box on the 50 yard line.

Officers remembering the Blair house gun fight Nov. 1 and the 1 gravity of world situation, were taking no chances. They hustled the two to a police detention room at Municipal stadium after the remark was made within 30 feet of Mr. Truman's bullet-proof private car. From there the pair were taken to police headquarters at city hall, then brought back to the stadium after more than an hour of questioning.

Bryant, whose Kentucky team meets Oklahoma in the Sugar bowl on New Year's day, personally scouted the Big Seven conference champions as they closed out their second straight all-victorius season. And he said afterward he was highly impressed with what saw.

"I knew Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma head coach) used the split-T as his basic offense." Bryant said, "but shucks, he's got everything in the books. I think the Aggies deserve a lot of credit for the courageous battle they put up today." Sooners "get ball" Bryant said doth withoute the faster than any team he ever saw." "They don't beat it," he added. They just explode with it." The Kentucky mentor was surprised to see Oklahoma take to the air SO frequently. Sooner Quarterback Claude Arnold completed 10 of 23 passes, four of them for touchdowns. "And that deception!" Bryant exclaimed.

"Oklahoma's deception is much better than that of any split-T team I've seen. Arnold fakes to everybody in the backfield." Bryant said Oklahoma looks "definitely better than any team we have played this year." "Bud has a lot of great players. In addition to Arnold, I was much impressed with Billy Vessels and Leon Heath in the backfield. And that Frankie Anderson is a whale of an end. He was in on every play.

Jim Weatherall also played a great game at tackle and the Oklahoma guards looked good to me." Bryant said Kentucky would start practice for the Sugar bowl game about Dec. 12. "I think we'll have a great game at New Orleans," he concluded, politely declining to venture a guess on the outcome.
